It’s been a while since I last made my crock pot jambalaya, one of the most popular recipes on this blog for some reason. Last time it was good – but it wasn’t perfect. The shrimp wasn’t cooked right, and it was too soup-like for me. Well, this time, it…

S’mores always make me think of summer and the movie The Sandlot. Remember that awesome movie? And the great scene where Smalls is introduced to s’mores?

Every Memorial Day, B’s family gathers at his uncle’s house for your typical summer holiday barbecue. B’s uncle prepares the main dish, and everyone else gets assigned something else – a side dish, salad, drinks, appetizer or dessert. This year, B and I were told to bring an appetizer. After…

May 28, 2013

I had the perfect three-day weekend. Despite the lack of warm, sunny weather (thus squashing my plan to just sit on my patio or at the beach with a book all weekend), I enjoyed every second of it. It was my ideal weekend – partially productive, partially lazy, and partially…

Hello,

I’m Melissa

Welcome to I Crashed The Web — proof that I’ve been oversharing online since the early days of blogging. It started as a blog (back when that was cool), morphed into a mom blog (when that was cool), and now it’s my happy place for all the things I love: running, baking, reading, traveling and life with my family of five.
